What else can I help you with?
Which of the following is NOT a sedimentary structure Ripple marks Magma emplacement Mud cracks or Cross beds?
Magma emplacements or Batholith are not sedimentary structures.
What is emplacement mechanism?
Emplacement mechanism refers to the process by which igneous rocks are created and placed into their final position within the Earth's crust. This can involve various mechanisms such as magmatic intrusion, volcanic eruption, or solidification of magma underground. Emplacement mechanisms play a key role in understanding the formation and distribution of igneous rocks.
What is magma in a sill which pushes up to form a rock dome called?
The magma in a sill that pushes up to form a dome-shaped rock structure is called laccolith. Laccoliths form when magma intrudes between layers of sedimentary rock and causes the overlying rocks to arch upwards, resulting in a dome-like structure.
In order to form magma what must happen to sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rocks?
In order to form magma, sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rocks must be exposed to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes the rocks to partially melt, forming molten rock called magma.
Which of the following is NOT one of the three types of rock igneous sedimentary metamorphic magma?
When magma is cooled and hardened, it is an igneous rock. That being said, there's only three left and those three are the three types of rocks. Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.

Does sedimentary rock form from the cooling of magma?
No. Igneous rock forms from the cooling of magma.
Do sedimentary rocks melt and become magma?
No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.
Is there a pathway through the rock cycle in which magma becomes sedimentary rock?
Yes, when igneous rock (magma) has solidified and then gets subsequently eroded, the eroded particules can get blown or washed into rivers for example, and then can form sedimentary rocks further down the chain.
Is sedimentary rock formed from cooling magma?
No, sedimentary rock is formed from the deposition and compression of sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. Cooling magma forms igneous rock when it solidifies.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
How does a sedimentary rock becomes a ingeous rock?
A sedimentary rock can become an igneous rock through the process of melting and solidification. If sedimentary rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures in the Earth's crust or mantle, they can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify to form igneous rocks.

Where is igneous rock in magma intrusion into sedimentary rock?
In dikes and sills.
What process converts sedimentary rock into magma?
great heat melts it
